Smile (2022)
Parker Finn's Smile had the tagline, "Once you see it, It's too late. " Truer advertising copy has rarely been written. A series of jump scares provided by a smiling demon, the film aims for horror, but achieves mild discomfiture. Finn's treatment of medical and mental health issues seems unsophisticated even compared to lowbrow fare like Cult of Chucky. A monotonous two hours with the occasional flourish of meaningless camera movements.
